Will Ferrell has done wonders as a newscaster (Ron Burgundy) from a bygone era when newscasters were mega celebrities.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is hitting theaters real soon, so Will Ferrell is doing the rounds as far as PR work for the film is concerned. Will even took up some air time on a North Dakota news station and reported the real news as Ron Burgundy! This 30-minute video shows Mr. Burgundy showcase his flirting skills, as well as his penchant for reporting the news in his unmistakable voice. It’s kind of cool watching the other newscasters trying to contain their laughter will is super serious with his onscreen character.
